Hi again friends,
Second posting is of two live edge walnut coffee tables I did earlier this year. I'm in McKinney Texas (North Dallas suburb) and watch the Craigslist adds all the time for good wood buys, tools, etc... A guy that does live edge work up in Wisconsin was coming down to Dallas to see his son. He posted an add on Craigslist about some live edge walnut that he had prior to making the trip. He said that if anyone in Dallas wanted any he would bring it with him. I bought a bunch... These tables and the one in the next post are all from those slabs.
This is the first live edge work that I've done. I looked around on the internet for some ideas and found a few that I tried to incorporate. I made all the tables have similar legs so they would work as a set. Also, the idea of the stacked coffee table came to me when I had two smaller pieces of a slab which I was actually going to make into end tables. I decided to do something a bit different and I'm real happy with how it turned out. I saw a few split designs for large dining tables and incorporated that into the other cofffee table. The first picture is of the slab that I used to build both of these tables. I hope you like them.
